Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air cooler technology, and in particular to an air cooler with a guide flow channel structure. Background Technology

[0002] Air coolers are suitable for use in water-scarce areas. Currently used large air coolers include horizontal blower type, horizontal exhaust type, inclined top type, and vertical type, with vertical type being the most common. To improve the cooling efficiency of air cooling equipment, it is often necessary to use air cooling equipment with a guide flow channel structure.

[0003] In the prior art, an air cooler with a guide flow channel structure, as described in patent CN221549419U, although improving cooling efficiency to some extent, still has the following problems:

[0004] The existing cooler has significant shortcomings in heat recovery, failing to effectively utilize the heat in the hot air and resulting in low energy efficiency. In addition, the hot air discharged from the device is directly dispersed into the air, which will cause a significant increase in the heat of the air near the device, affecting the cooling effect of the device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an air cooler with a guide flow channel structure, which can overcome the shortcomings of heat recovery.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, an air cooler with a guide flow channel structure is provided, including a cooler housing, an intake fan bracket installed on the left side wall of the cooler housing, an exhaust bracket fixedly connected to the right side wall of the cooler housing, a heat storage device fixedly connected to the right end of the exhaust bracket, a heat storage bracket fixedly connected to the middle of the heat storage device, and an exhaust pipe fixedly connected to the right end of the heat storage bracket.

[0007] The cooler housing is fixedly connected to several air ducts and several guide plates. A fluid inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the cooler housing near the left side, and a fluid outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the cooler housing near the right side. A Venturi tube is fixedly connected to the middle of the fluid inlet pipe.

[0008] According to the air cooler with a guide flow channel structure, the heat storage rack is made of zeolite material and is configured with a porous structure. The zeolite material can effectively absorb and store the heat of the hot air discharged from the air outlet rack.

[0009] According to the air cooler with a guide flow channel structure, the guide plates are alternately distributed at the top and bottom of the cooler housing, and guide flow channels are formed between the guide plates and between the guide plates and the inner wall of the cooler housing. The fluid inlet pipe is connected to the fluid outlet pipe through the guide flow channel.

[0010] According to the air cooler with a guide flow channel structure, the narrow neck end of the venturi tube is fixedly connected to an air inlet pipe. A first control valve is installed inside the air inlet pipe. The air inlet pipe is connected to a fluid tank at room temperature. When fluid flows through the venturi tube, a negative pressure is formed at the air inlet pipe, which mixes the room temperature fluid with the high temperature fluid flowing into the fluid inlet pipe. On the one hand, this can reduce the temperature of the high temperature fluid, and on the other hand, it can preheat the room temperature fluid.

[0011] According to the air cooler with a guide flow channel structure, an air inlet chamber is provided inside the cooler housing and near the left side. The air inlet chamber is directly opposite the air intake fan frame. The air intake fan frame is connected to the air outlet frame through an air duct. The air intake fan frame can draw outside air into the air inlet chamber, so that the air flows out of the air outlet frame through the air duct, thereby absorbing the heat of the air duct.

[0012] According to the air cooler with a guide flow channel structure, a water inlet pump is provided on the lower side of the heat storage rack. The output end of the water inlet pump is connected to the bottom of the heat storage rack. The water inlet pump can pump water from the outside into the heat storage tank, absorbing heat from the heat storage rack while providing a stable supply of hot water.

[0013] According to the air cooler with a guide flow channel structure, a vent valve is installed on the upper side wall of the heat storage unit to facilitate the discharge of high-pressure gas inside the heat storage unit and prevent excessive air pressure inside the heat storage unit. A water tap is installed on the lower side wall of the heat storage unit to facilitate the discharge of hot water.

[0014] According to the air cooler with a guide flow channel structure, a third control valve is fixedly connected inside the right end of the air outlet frame to control the connection status of the right end of the air outlet frame, and a second control valve is fixedly connected in the middle of the air outlet pipe to control the connection status of the air outlet pipe.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This utility model optimizes the internal flow channel structure, enabling air to form a complex serpentine flow path inside the cooler, which significantly prolongs the contact time between air and cooling fluid, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency.

[0017] 2. This utility model, by setting up a porous zeolite heat storage rack and a heat storage device, can effectively absorb and store heat from hot air and convert it into hot water supply. This design not only solves the problem of insufficient heat recovery in existing technologies, but also realizes the secondary utilization of energy, improves energy efficiency, reduces production costs, and has significant economic and environmental benefits.

[0018] 3. Compared with existing technologies, this utility model improves performance while simplifying the internal structure, reducing the use of complex components, and lowering manufacturing costs and maintenance difficulty. For example, the guide flow channel structure and heat storage device used in this cooler have simple construction, are easy to manufacture and install, and reduce the risk of failure caused by structural complexity, thereby improving the reliability and service life of the equipment.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model discloses an air cooler with a guide flow channel structure, comprising a cooler housing 1, an intake fan bracket 2 mounted on the left side wall of the cooler housing 1, an exhaust bracket 6 fixedly connected to the right side wall of the cooler housing 1, a heat storage unit 5 fixedly connected to the right end of the exhaust bracket 6, a heat storage rack 504 fixedly connected to the middle of the heat storage unit 5, and an exhaust pipe 501 fixedly connected to the right end of the heat storage rack 504. The heat storage rack 504 is made of zeolite material and has a porous structure. The zeolite material can effectively absorb and store the heat of the hot air discharged from the exhaust bracket 6. A water inlet pump 503 is provided on the lower side of the heat storage rack 504. The output end of the water inlet pump 503 is connected to the bottom of the heat storage rack 504. The water inlet pump 503 can pump water from the outside into the heat storage unit 5, absorbing the heat of the heat storage rack 504 while stably providing hot water.

[0028] A vent valve is installed on the upper side wall of the heat storage tank 5 to facilitate the discharge of high-pressure gas inside the heat storage tank 5 and prevent the internal gas pressure from being too high. A water outlet faucet 502 is installed on the lower side wall of the heat storage tank 5 to facilitate the discharge of hot water.

[0029] A third control valve 602 is fixedly connected inside the right end of the air outlet frame 6 to control the connection status of the right end of the air outlet frame 6. A second control valve 5011 is fixedly connected in the middle of the air outlet pipe 501 to control the connection status of the air outlet pipe 501.

[0030] Several air ducts 102 are fixedly connected inside the cooler housing 1, and several guide plates 103 are also fixedly connected inside the cooler housing 1. The guide plates 103 are alternately distributed at the top and bottom of the cooler housing 1, forming guide channels between the guide plates 103 and between the guide plates 103 and the inner wall of the cooler housing 1. The fluid inlet pipe 3 is connected to the fluid outlet pipe 4 through the guide channels. An air inlet chamber 101 is provided inside the cooler housing 1 near the left side. The air inlet chamber 101 is directly opposite the air intake fan frame 2. The air intake fan frame 2 is connected to the air outlet frame 6 through the air ducts 102. The air intake fan frame 2 can draw outside air into the air inlet chamber 101, so that the air flows out of the air outlet frame 6 through the air ducts 102, thereby absorbing the heat of the air ducts 102.

[0031] A fluid inlet pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the cooler housing 1 near the left side, and a fluid outlet pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the cooler housing 1 near the right side. A venturi tube 301 is fixedly connected to the middle of the fluid inlet pipe 3, and an air inlet pipe 302 is fixedly connected to the narrow neck end of the venturi tube 301. A first control valve 303 is installed inside the air inlet pipe 302. The air inlet pipe 302 is connected to a fluid tank at room temperature. When fluid flows through the venturi tube 301, a negative pressure is formed at the air inlet pipe 302, which mixes the room temperature fluid with the high temperature fluid flowing into the fluid inlet pipe 3. This can reduce the temperature of the high temperature fluid and preheat the room temperature fluid.

[0032] Unless otherwise specified, the constituent units of this utility model are obtained from conventional commercial channels or manufactured by conventional methods. Their specific structure, working principle, and possible control methods and spatial arrangement methods can adopt conventional choices in the field and should not be regarded as the innovation of this utility model. This is understandable to those skilled in the art, and this utility model patent will not be further elaborated in detail.

[0033] Working Principle: Air is introduced into the cooler housing 1 through the intake fan bracket 2. The design of the intake fan bracket ensures that air enters the cooler at a stable flow rate, providing sufficient power for the subsequent cooling process. The guide plate 103 guides the air to form a guide channel inside the cooler housing 1, increasing the contact time between the air and the cooling fluid and improving cooling efficiency. The design of the guide channel creates a complex flow path for the air inside the cooler, ensuring sufficient heat exchange between the air and the cooling fluid, thereby significantly improving cooling efficiency. The high-temperature fluid in the fluid inlet pipe 3 mixes with the room-temperature fluid through the venturi tube 301, reducing the temperature of the high-temperature fluid while preheating the room-temperature fluid. The special structure of the venturi tube generates negative pressure during fluid flow, allowing the two fluids to mix evenly, effectively reducing the temperature of the high-temperature fluid and fully... The waste heat of the high-temperature fluid is used to preheat the room-temperature fluid, which improves the overall energy utilization efficiency. The cooled air flows to the air outlet frame 6 through the air duct 102 and is finally discharged. The design of the air duct ensures the smooth discharge of the cooled air and avoids the accumulation of airflow inside the cooler, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the cooling process. The heat in the hot air is absorbed and stored by the heat storage frame 504. Water is introduced into the heat storage tank 5 through the water inlet pump 503 to absorb the heat from the heat storage frame 504 and provide a stable supply of hot water. The porous zeolite structure of the heat storage frame has extremely high heat storage capacity, which can quickly absorb the heat in the hot air and transfer the heat to the water in the heat storage tank through the water inlet pump, realizing the effective recovery and reuse of heat and improving the comprehensive utilization rate of energy.

[0034] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
